hi all,

my pseudo speaks for itself 🙂  
I’ve search on many RoR websites but could not find any easy/  
understable/best way to record the following xml file :

 \<?xml version="1.0" ?\> 1234 Darshan Singh Checking 11/04/1974 25382.20 

…into a mysql db (table = Accounts / columns = id, number, name,  
type, opendate, balance)

thanks a lot in advance for your help

Have you looked at ActiveRecord? Or more specifically  
ActiveRecord::XML.  
Hope this helps.
